...I don't think they'll shift away from that unless one misses like with Days Gone
Days Gone wasn't really a miss, judgeing by the fact a lot of gamers are questioning why Sony moved Bend Studio on instead of giving gamers DG2, shows it wasn't as big of a failure as Sony think it was. It had it's problems like a lot of open world games do, but it wasn't poor by any stretch of the imagination.
This practice always bothers me. The first game in pretty much every series is really rough in comparison to the sequel. Halo CE, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Killzone, etc. There's usually a lot of lessons learned on that then go on to massively improve the tech and flesh out gameplay ideas that just couldn't be realised before that first round of development.

There's also the marketing and brand recognition aspect of it. One of the biggest hurdles for new IPs is catching people's attention by being a brand they've already previously heard of. It's why so many publishers will fall over themselves for established IPs, even if cash grab/cross promotional product. More people will recognise your title the second time round because of the marketing and chatter that happened during the launch of the first game.

Second entries in franchises usually end up being the most liked, ones as a result. Honestly, pick 10 random successful franchises, and I bet you about 9 of them will have "peaks" at the second title.

I think it's always worth producing a second entry , unless what you have is something that even the devs don't want to touch again.
I agree 100% with this. A majority of the games that I love which are part of a series of games had their best entry at 2. Days Gone 2 looking like it won’t happen is such a shame as the first was a fantastic game and Bend did a brilliant job with it. Yes it had its issues at launch but as someone else said, a lot of open world games do.
I think it had something to do with the devs behind it to. Ghost of Tsushima (Sukerpunch) already had a massive Playstation franchise behind them. Syphon Filter was really only remembered by an certain age group until the classic catalogue came about. Bend didn't really do a lot other than spin offs on Uncharted etc.

I agree with you both that the second tends to be the highlight of a lot of major franchises. I can only think of two where the second was worse off the top of my head. Dead Space and Dragon Age.

But I enjoyed ones like Prototype 2, Mafia II, Gears of War 2, Halo 2, Saints Row 2, Left 4 Dead 2.

I’ve been frustrated with this too for a long time. Even though Days Gone would have been deemed a success by most studios it’s clear that Sony thought it was a failure so almost shut up shop on Sony Bend.

I wish so many games got a second chance. Like Ryse Son of Rome, the Order 1886, Alien Isolation and so many others. While they are debatably 7/10s to 8/10a because they missed the mark critically they were one and done. If they all got a second chance to refine what worked and want didn’t we’d potentially have some awesome franchises. It’s just frustrating that the industry is so expensive and fragile now that you have to almost strike lightning first time or else.
What might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may, in fact, be the first steps of a journey.

Ryse was an exceptional game considering it was basically just a tech demo. MS could have done so much more with that IP.
The Order was also a tech demo that could have been into something amazing. If MS made a Ryse 2 of some description, I'd get an Series S just to play it. I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Yeah agreed, the headline of this article 100% gives off that childish schoolyard attitude and is equally reflected in the content of it too.

Articles like this just make the site seem overly biased and immature. Almost promotes the damn fanboyism. I understand it’s a Trophy website and so will obviously lean in Sony’s favour but come on now, hold yourself to a higher standard of etiquette.

Only thing is, Microsoft does not own the IP. It is still owned by Crytek. Crytek wanted a Ryse 2 and Microsoft only wanted to help them out, if they sold the IP to Microsoft and Crytek refused that.

I'm just saying if MS went for Ryse 2, I'd get the machine to play it. It was that good, the second games in series are normally much better.

Hey I’ll admit I’m a fan of xbox more than PlayStation, however I would have called out an article as childish as this the other way round too.

You cannot honestly say this article is well written piece of gaming journalism? I can accept biased opinions as I stated, but not when delivered in such an embarrassing way. It paints the community in a bad way. And people agreeing with it makes matters even worse 🤦🏻‍♂️.

I think you've intentionally skipped over the point he said he'd call it out if it was them swooning over MS too. It was the tone he had a problem with, not the content.

What are you rambling about? Guess you quoted the wrong person, as I'm not the one who made a comment, about that the news on this site is too much pro-Playstation.
Twilight was talking about me, seems to be under the impression I would be as biased as suggested. As I stated I don’t mind bias in articles, it’s to be expected on TT for PlayStation and on TA for Xbox. I just have a problem with very purely constructed articles that border on childish. Or in this case, step way too far into childish. Most the articles on the site are fab and I love reading them, but this one just felt a little pathetic tbh.

I can't take this site seriously when the article title looks like a 14 year old came up with the name
Yeah agreed, the headline of this article 100% gives off that childish schoolyard attitude and is equally reflected in the content of it too.

Articles like this just make the site seem overly biased and immature. Almost promotes the damn fanboyism. I understand it’s a Trophy website and so will obviously lean in Sony’s favour but come on now, hold yourself to a higher standard of etiquette.
Your comment also shows fanboyism.
They are an Xbox fanboy that wants Microsoft to buy every publisher to keep them from Sony, just block and ignore lol.
Hey I’ll admit I’m a fan of xbox more than PlayStation, however I would have called out an article as childish as this the other way round too.

You cannot honestly say this article is well written piece of gaming journalism? I can accept biased opinions as I stated, but not when delivered in such an embarrassing way. It paints the community in a bad way. And people agreeing with it makes matters even worse 🤦🏻‍♂️.
They are volunteers, not journalists. If you can do it better, then volunteer at Rich. But there is already way more news on this site then there was 2 years ago.
So every article can be swooning over Spencer or how Microsoft are the most generous loving company ever? No thanks.

No, I was mocking the Xbox fanboy you were replying too.

Dear lord your comments about me are a like a broken record. I get it, you don’t like Xbox gamers, totally understand it. But always having a dig at me, that is also incredibly childish. Now I understand why you find the article entertaining. I think everyone here knows you don’t like me. How about we just keep those spats in the appropriate comments or even better, act like adults. If you are in fact an adult.
